MS Platforms

At the VIB Metabolomics Core Leuven, we offer a broad and complementary range of analytical technologies to support cutting-edge metabolomics research. Our facility is equipped with instruments across multiple categories — including Time-of-Flight (TOF), Orbitrap, Magnetic Resonance Mass Spectrometry (MR-MS), and Triple Quadrupole (QQQ) systems — each with unique strengths and capabilities.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor our workflows to your research question and the metabolites of interest. Whether you're interested in untargeted screening, stable isotope tracing or identifying rare compounds, we select the most suitable platform to ensure high-quality, reproducible data.
Our instruments are distributed across three specialized rooms, each housing technologies optimized for different analytical needs. This diversity allows us to support a wide range of sample types, experimental designs, and scientific goals — from exploratory studies to targeted validation.
